Crown of Chaos

Chapter 288, Kelburn-Black Staff

This bizarre challenge was quickly delivered to Aaron's desk.

At this time, Aaron was originally learning magic with the eldest lady. Although the eldest lady could no longer teach Aaron anything about magic, the two of them could exchange a lot of each other's experiences and advance the research on magic together.

But when news of three seriously injured people reached Aaron, Aaron knew he had to step forward.

This is his biggest challenge as a lord.

There are also laws similar to those in the Middle Ages in the country, that is, the civilians pay taxes for the lords, and the lords provide protection for the civilians. The two parties form a dynamic balance. Since the country is a fantasy world, sometimes the civilians can protect themselves. , it will be reflected in the fact that the civilians are very strong. Sometimes when the lord is strong, the civilians will be weak.

But no matter what the situation is, the lord who cannot protect the common people will not be able to sit for a long time.

Therefore, many great nobles will try their best to find legendary strong men to serve as "guardians" for their cities and territories and provide high-end military support.

Of course, the best way is for the noble lords to be strong themselves.

For example, Queen Alustriel of Silvermoon City, Lord Blackstaff of Waterdeep City, Emperor Xiang of Kara-atu, and Lich Queen of the Star Plane Gith.

Aaron quickly left the castle, taking only a few personal followers with him, and rushed to the scene of the incident.

When he arrived near the scene of the incident, Inspector General Ian Hutson had already arrived. Seeing that Aaron appeared faster than expected, Ian raised his eyebrows: "Boy, someone is challenging you. Book."

Aaron noticed four human bodies placed in the open space. The first one looked haggard. All the muscle tissue in his body had been completely removed from the body, leaving only skin, nerves, bones, and organs.

The second person was injected with too much air, and every part of his body was filled with gas. The gas made him float, and the skin of his whole body swelled up like a balloon.

The third person had all his nerve tissue removed from his body, and every part of him from head to toe was necrotic.

Miraculously, all three were still alive, and they were even able to call for help.

In addition to these three people, there was also a burnt mummy.

Aaron frowned and looked at Ian: "Didn't you say three people? Why are there four?"

"You have to ask those ungrateful priests about this." Ian sneered and pointed at the several Lathander priests who were still frightened and angry: "We have said it so many times, this is obviously the god's. It was a trick, but these hot-blooded little chicks refused to listen. One idiot among them insisted on showing off his magic, but before he could cast the spell, a black fire burned him to a crisp."

"...Bury him properly." Aaron said to the black eagle guard.

"Yes." The Black Eagle guards hesitated for a while, then went up and dragged the mummy down.

Several Lathander priests surrounded the corpse and wept.

Aaron closed his eyes in condolences, then turned to look at the three living people on the ground.

All three of them were incredibly sane, and they were all asking Aaron for help. They told them that they had done it themselves, but they suddenly regretted it after doing it. There was a voice in the dark telling them that only Aaron could save them. life.

Are they... committing suicide?

There were waves of exclamations all around.

How could it be suicide!

In this country, due to the value of the soul, suicide is considered a very dishonorable and bad behavior. A suicidal soul will cause the soul to fade and its value will be greatly reduced. Not to mention that the evil gods will not regard this behavior. It is so disgusting that even the kind-hearted gods have zero tolerance for suicide. Many gods even regard suicide as a crime.

"Suicide inside a temple is a serious act of sacrilege!"

——The rules of the Church of Most Good Gods.

So I can mention a digression here, that is why Calimport, where Anomin was located before, was clearly a semi-slavery country that tended to be neutral and evil, but the Ilmat faith was so prevalent in Calimport and became the mainstream belief. It is because the God of Suffering hates suicide to the extreme. Ilmat believes that no matter how much suffering he endures, living is better than committing suicide.

The pashas and merchants of Calim Port said: "Too hot!"

Therefore, the nobles of Calimport always donate heavily to the Ilmat Church and promote it, hoping that every slave will believe in Ilmat.

(However, Ilmat was not a vegetarian. The Church of the Passion God also instigated many slave riots, which made the pashas understand that there would be no good consequences for using them, and they were forced to increase donations and improve the treatment of slaves.)

As for why suicide will cause the soul to fade, Aaron doesn't quite understand this, but the four gods of chaos also seem to hate the souls who commit suicide. They compare these suicidal souls to "defective" and "crooked melons and cracked dates." , not very willing to accept these souls.

For example, Konrad Curze, the original Night Lord among the originals, used a method similar to "suicide" to let his soul escape from the control of the four gods of Chaos before it was completely contaminated. To this day, The four gods felt very angry and disgusted.

"Such a perfect soul has been tainted like this!"

——Tzeentch rarely gets angry because something is beyond his control.

Only the devil likes to induce mortals to commit suicide, because in many cases these extremely evil people in the Nine Hells cannot obtain souls from the gods. At this time, suicide allows the devil to obtain souls from the mortal world by bypassing the rules.

A mutilated soul is also a soul. At least it can be made into soul coins. If you don't want to use your brain, then it really means nothing.

Of course, the soul of suicide ≠ the soul of self-sacrifice. Any self-sacrifice soul is the most valuable to the righteous party or the devil.

"Your Excellency, look at this Holy Emblem, it is the handiwork of Dark Sun." A veteran of the Black Eagle Guard whispered to Aaron: "What should I do?"

"What should I do?" A trace of murderous intent appeared in Aaron's eyes.

Cyric was not only deliberately disgusting him and trying to cast a shadow over the celebration, but he was also openly questioning the power of his magic.

Don’t you claim that astral magic is very powerful? Aren’t you able to fight against divine powers on your own?

Then can you save your subjects? You can't even save your subjects, so why are you talking about the Knight of Flowers and hosting a feast?

Aaron began to cast the spell.

There is no doubt that these three living people left Aaron with huge problems. They were alive entirely because they were blessed by divine power. Cyric's divine power cursed them, but also protected their lives. If If Aaron wants to heal their bodies, he must dispel the influence of the divine power, and then they will die immediately. But if Cyric's divine power is retained, then Aaron can only watch them talking nonsense and wailing.

Not to mention Aaron, even the legendary priests didn't know how to deal with this problem.

At this time, among the crowd, a middle-aged man with a height of over 1.83 meters and a muscular body holding a black staff was watching with interest as Aaron began to treat three living people. He had a full beard. The black hair is streaked with silver, including a prominent stripe through the beard.

The middle-aged man has a noble manner and extraordinary bearing. He wears black clothes with a silver button under his robe, and a gray fur-lined cloak.

Next to the middle-aged man is a very beautiful young woman. She has silver hair and a face that symbolizes eternal youth. She is wearing an elegant dress of the elf family and is watching Aaron silently.

"Dear?" She asked the middle-aged man, "If it were you, would you be able to do anything?"

"I am a wizard, ma'am." The middle-aged man said without a smile. He just held the black staff, narrowed his eyes, and said rather arrogantly: "There is nothing I can't do, even if it is a trick of the dark sun."

"Yes, I believe you, my dear." The young woman nodded and looked at Aaron with her beautiful eyes: "Do you think he can do it?"

"Of course!" The middle-aged man raised his chin, his black eyes always squinting as he looked at Aaron.

"He is the person who inherited my position as the 'Black Staff Ceremony Officer'. This kid not only successfully concluded the high dragon alliance by taking advantage of my verbal agreement with the Power Dragon, but also solved the tyranny of the Son of God without my own action."

"How could someone who can attract the attention of Phil Farrell and have his name on Alice Sayre's lips all day long be unable to deal with Dark Sun's little test?"

"But, what if he really can't do it?" The young woman became even more interested.

"That... only proves that I got the wrong person, hahahaha~" The middle-aged man laughed a few times, then coughed and regained his composure: "Don't worry, madam, if this kid doesn't work, I will take action."

"Look at me, what kind of man does Alice like?"

The couple watched as Aaron began to operate.

Aaron first summoned a basin of Ji Lun's water, soaked the first person in the emerald green water basin full of life, then grabbed the second person and hung it on the first person with a rope. body.

Immediately afterwards, he pierced the second man's body with a knife and watched as his balloon-like body shriveled up. The air spurted out of the gap immediately glowed with billowing black gas under the reflection of Guilun's Water. !

There was a burst of exclamation from the surroundings, and the purple-black aura contained extremely evil power.

The power of Cyric the Dark Sun!

This black energy immediately attacked Aaron and was tied to his body like a chain. The pale skull wraith grinned at him, trying to kill him while he was distracted to stabilize the magic.

But Aaron calmly pressed the head of the resentful spirit with his hand, and the silver eight-pointed star curse seal on his body turned into flowing light spots, and an eight-pointed star appeared on the palm of his hand. A crown was placed on the head of the wraith.

The resentful spirit could not bear the weight of the crown. It screamed hoarsely and was pressed to the ground. Taking this opportunity, Aaron used himself as the medium to transfer all the dark sun power in the purple-black aura from the second person to the first person. On the individual body, the water of Ji Lun overflows with radiance.

The first man was brought back, and muscle tissue reappeared in his body.

Aaron regretfully told him that he survived, but his lifespan would be shortened by at least ten years, and he would not be able to do heavy work in the future. He would introduce him to a handyman job that would ensure food and clothing.

After all the black energy in the second person's body was expelled, the whole person collapsed into a ball like a shriveled balloon. Upon seeing this, Aaron injected a little more purified "qi" into him, making him feel slightly inflated. After a while, he was stuffed into the Water of Kilon and soaked. As Aaron recited the incantation and used the power of Nurgle, the second man also recovered.

Aaron told the second person that he should try to reduce strenuous exercise in the future, especially not to exhale or inhale forcefully, and to avoid nervousness, otherwise the skin on his face and body would bulge again, but other than that, he was fine.

At this time, the lord's miraculous magic has caused all the people in the territory, the nearby guards, the Silver Moon Opera Troupe, the Night Monk, the middle-aged couple, several Lathander priests, and Drew hiding in the corner to watch him. We were fascinated to see it.

The Fairy Princess's Flower Knight has reached an ultimate level of control over magic, and no one can even recognize what magic he uses!

Some people wanted to applaud, but were immediately pulled back by the people next to them.

Everyone wants to see how he treats the third person!

Facing the third man who was dying of necrosis all over his body, Aaron seemed to be in trouble. After he treated the first two people, he walked to the third man. He first squatted down and carefully inspected his necrotic parts, and then carefully He compared the nerve chains throughout his body that had been taken out, and compared them back and forth for more than ten minutes, but there was no action.

But just when the people around him started to show doubts, Aaron started to take action. He first chanted magic and grew a new bud from the basin of Ji Lun's water. Then he picked the new bud and placed it on the nerve structure of the whole body. , the emerald green light swept from the nerve structure of the head to the tail like a scanner, and then Aaron pulled out the sprout and placed it on the head of the third seriously injured person.

Only the sound of his forehead cracking was heard. The tree buds squeezed open the Tianling Cap, entered his body along his head, and began to grow crazily. The third patient suddenly twitched, twisted, and trembled, and let out the most painful screams. The howl forced Aaron to hold him down with his hands.

"Oh oh oh oh~" After exclaiming, a miracle happened!

The third patient's face returned to ruddy color, and the purple color of the necrotic organs and muscles on his body faded away, and he became full of life again!

Aaron regretfully told the third patient that he could not completely cure his injury. He could only let the plant coexist with him. From today on, he must live with a plant on his head, but he was also a blessing in disguise. Similar to Druid abilities, would you like me to introduce you to a Druid mentor?

All three patients have since recovered.

"Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!"

A miracle happened here, and people were so excited that they gathered around and shouted Aaron's name loudly.

This is a miracle! It's a true miracle!

The most excited among them were the citizens and guards of the Sunset Territory. All of them had an unnatural blush on their faces, clenched their hands, and clenched their fists tightly.

It is right to serve Mr. Aaron!

If this kind of injury can be saved, what else should we be afraid of in the future?

After witnessing this incident, everyone in the leadership had inexplicable confidence in Aaron.

The onlookers applauded thunderously, and Aaron greeted everyone. He signaled the guards to carry the three patients to the nursing home for observation, and at the same time turned around to leave.

However, a couple stopped him. The leader, a young lady in gorgeous clothes, smiled at Aaron and joked: "Wonderful rejuvenation, Mr. Doctor! The silver lotion is really a good thing. I now believe you made it." ”

"It seems that this visit is valuable." The middle-aged man said hello to Aaron with a straight face: "Young man, do you know who I am? You should know."

"Of course." Aaron knew the origin of this couple after a moment's inspection.

"Welcome to the Sunset Territory, His Excellency Kelben Orosan, Lord of the Blackstaff of Waterdeep, and...Lady Lyra Silverhand, one of the Seven Sisters of the North."

"Very, very, very welcome."
